Only 10 weeks to Christmas! I have recently purchased a gadget that you may wish to consider receiving on the big day from a friend or loved one. Remember that afternoon when you had forgotten to charge your laptop/tablet and there was no power source in the scorebox. If your machine has USB-C charging, I have found a powerbank that should give your machine at least one full charge and at the moment it is at a competitive price. It can also charge your phone at the same time.

It is the Cygnett 20,000 mAh USB-C Laptop Power Bank. It weighs 459g (just over a pound) and measures 170mm x 100mm x15mm. On Amazon it is currently £120 and Ebay £84. However, on Cygnett’s UK website the black version is currently on sale for £48 and the teal version £56 with no delivery charge. There is a possibility of getting a further 20% discount if you are a new customer. It would mean signing up to receive advertising information, but I am sure you could unsubscribe as soon as you receive the first email.
It comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable to charge it up from the mains, but you will need to either already have or buy separately a USB-C to USB-C. I purchased a high quality 10cm cable from Cygnett for £12.95, although they can be purchased cheaper elsewhere.

Finally, I can confirm that I have no connection to Cygnett!
